I wanna live like a wildflower,
|
Find my place in the golden sun.
|
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
|
Where's that girl who ran barefoot,
|
Chasin' the wind and the butterflies?
|
Tellin' her secrets to the calico cat:
|
That cat never heard no lies.
|
|
Grandma's apron full of blackberries,
|
Sayin': "Get your bucket and a-come home child.
|
"Wash your hands it's time for supper.
|
"Clean your face but don't touch that smile."
|
Kiss on the cheek and off to bed:
|
The nightlight's on and the Bible's read.
|
Pray, the Lord, my soul to keep:
|
Lord, keep my spirit free.
|
|
I wanna live like a wildflower,
|
Find my place in the golden sun.
|
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
Run, run, river run.
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
|
Instrumental break.
|
|
Where's that girl who laid in the daisies,
|
Lookin' at the faces up in the clouds?
|
Dreamin' of the boy she's gonna marry.
|
Where's that boy right now?
|
Come on, honey, go with me,
|
To the boy and the girl we used to be.
|
I pray, the Lord, our souls to keep:
|
Lord, keep our spirits free.
|
|
We're gonna live like wildflowers:
|
Nature's daughter, nature's son.
|
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
Run, run, river run,
|
Until this life on Earth is done.
|
Then up in Heaven everyone.
|
|
We're gonna live like wildflowers,
|
Find our place in the golden sun.
|
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
And the angels say:
|
"Run, run, river run,"
|
Dancin' at the feet of the Father's son.
|
All God's children having so much fun,
|
Watchin' that river run.
|
|
I'm gonna live like a wildflower.
|
We're gonna live like wildflowers.
|
We're all gonna live like wildflowers,
|
Watchin' that river run.
